by Raymond Queneau (Author), James Sallis (Translator), James Sallis (Introduction by)

Queneau's tragicomic masterpiece which retells in an array of styles the primal Freudian myth of sons killing the father.

Queneau satirizes anthropology, folklore, philosophy, and epistemology while spinning a story as appealing as a fairy tale about a land where it never rains and a bizarre festival is held every Saint Glinglin's Day.
